The News That Matters about the Nuclear Industry

Scott Pruitt, a climate change denier who was tapped to head the EPA by a similarly myopic Trump Administration now appears to be wielding the powers of that government agency to suppress the voices of climate scientists.

A report out of the New York Times yesterday found that three scientists scheduled to discuss the impacts of human-caused climate change on the sensitive environment of Narragansett Bay were barred from speaking in a panel discussion today. The scientists are employees of the EPA and contributors to a 400 page report on the health of Narragansett Bay. The study found numerous climate change related impacts to the Bay region — which is a vital economic resource and home to more than 2 million people.

The macho men who make the nuclear killing decisions – theme for February 2018

These are the macho men who are deciding how to spend the American tax-payers’ $trillions that are not being spent on health, education, essential services, essential welfare, environment .

And this is their palace – the Pentagon, far away from the ordinary things of ordinary lives.

America is the worst – but the same scenario is being played out by the macho men in Russia, China, India, Pakistan, Britain, and of course, North Korea.

Working people pay for this – with their taxes.

And – the insanity of the system is that very many of those working people depend on the killing machine for their jobs – making a living now, in the service of the system that will kill their children.

For many macho men – the satisfaction of knowing that they can kill millions of “enemy” children, women and men is apparently worth it all. A strange satisfaction -for, even if they survive themselves – what will victory really look like?

Is it not time that women took over the decision making?
